If you compare a typical Dutch tomato to a supersized watermelon type tomato from California, the Dutch tomatoes are ten times more flavorful.

What do you mean by "supervised watermelon type tomatoes"? Are you referring to some of the the huge heirloom tomatoes? I find there yellow ones particularly flavorful. Much better than there Dutch stuff.

i live in Los Angeles, and most of the tomatoes i've found in supermarkets here are low in flavor.

OTOH, if I buy the $5-$6 per pound heirloom varieties, the flavor is better.

even better: tomatoes grown in people's backyards.

Best tomatoes I've ever had were indeed grown in a backyard. In volcanic soil.
